Description
d'Indy, Vincent. French composer. Autograph letter signed. Paris, December 31, 1910. 2 pp. 10.75" x 8.25". Water-mark of The Archangel Mill, stationary of the Schola Cantorum. One vertical and horizontal crease, tiny hole to center at fold, short .5" closed tear to lower margin (at fold.) *************************************** Vincent d'Indy studied under Cesar Franck. Written (in French) to "my dear Theo." The letter contains a reply to an invitation to attend a concert of the music of J.P. Rameau. Of this composer's music d'Indy writes, "This music of Rameau is very boring if one does not make it live and its life lies in the melodic accent and rhythm. One could see this in the performance of Hippolyte et Aricie at the opera which caused everyone in the orchestra to fall asleep (including myself) ... I have never and nowhere found an orchestra capable of executing this music well, even passably..." Signed by d'Indy.
